Have you ever visited Merrimack's own Simond's Rock?
Simonds Rock is a natural wonder of Merrimack. It is a glacial erratic formation located near Pennichuck Brook. This jumbled heap of boulders was left behind when the glacier that covered New Hampshire receded between 12,000 to 16,000 years ago. It is recorded as “Pennichuck Rock” on USGS maps.
It was well known as a landmark during the settlement of the area. It was referred to as “a glacial tramp that had witnessed all.” During the period when Massachusetts Colony was dividing this area (then Dunstable) the rock formation was used as a reference point to calculate and establish homesteads for the first settlers.
